I like the idea of an annual registration/licensing fee for every weapon.

Agreed.

I'd also like a gun owner's permit to be federally-issued to gun buyers/owners, ensuring uniformity of background checks,etc. This would have an added advantage, in that sellers at all the gun shows be required to check the currency of the permit before selling a person a gun. Proof of the check could be a simple thing, such as recording the permit number and the gun registration number at the time of sale. This info would feed into the licensing fee process.
